The show on Christmas Day will be at 15:50 - 16:50 on Channel 4.

Unfortunately, there'll be no live commentary as both kestral and I have family commitments.

A review of the show will be posted up later on Christmas Day or early on Boxing Day, so you can comment on the show once that has been posted.

Merry Christmas everybody!

I'll do it, I always watch it on Xmas day so I'll do it. Merry Christmas everyone

Thanks for that. Don't worry if you aren't able to do it in the end.

Hope everyone has a great day.

I'll be around too, so let's make a good day of this!

same here. Will be fun to have the whole family watching - with mum still not quite sure how the show works - with sister having a crush on noel -with dad jealous that noel still has his hair - with dotty old gran clapping in the proveout when they pick the low numbers - and me; who reads far too much in a game of chance that requires no skills other than a bit of psychological gamesmanship with a person(s) who you never meet and has a hidden set of rules that can be changed on a whim. happy christmas

What brilliant timing!

Happy Chistmas to you too!

Ant's game today.

Noel welcomes everyone to Christmas Day in the Winter Wonderland. He says that it would be interesting to see if they can create a quarter-millionare.

Ant has Box 11.

Ant is from North West London, he is involved in investigating refugees and Asylum seekers. He wants to be a solicitor and his mum is in the audience. Ant brings a small John Barnes figurine and a small memory of his deceased grandfather Ernest.

Noel explains the Scrooge or Santa twist that takes place at the 5-box stage. There are 3 snowmen and 2 of them have a Santa and 1 has a Scrooge, find the Santa and the contestant gets an offer after every box in the final round, but find the Scrooge and the Banker gets to look inside the contestant's box and the final round continues in the usual 3 box style. There is also a Christmas tree where the contestant gets to the chance to win a holiday.

Here we go...
